We left nc and entered tennessee yesterday. Crossing the great smoky mtns - and the rest of the appalachians - was absolutely stunning. While driving on this turny mountain pass, it felt like the appalachians went on forever. I can't even imagine what the rockies feel like. Shortly after crossing into tennessee we entered central time. That was fun watching the clocks freak out for a little.
We arrived at fallcreek falls national park in spencer, tn at about 5 yesterday (after a 8 hour drive). we popped a tent and had somw dogs and beans. Failing to remember utensils are necessary to eat out of a can (open via a knife) we made spoons out of the bottom and sides of poland spring bottles.
This morning we were up with sun and headed out for.a hike at about 7am. The falls at fall creek are beautiful. They are 256 feet tall- the tallest east of the rockies. We did a half hour decent to the bottom. Very tranquil. The steep hike back to the lot was interesting with the heat.
Looks like we could hit some storms later today but right now it's sunny, warm and not too humid. Today we are driving to talladega speedway right outside birmingham, al with our final destination montgomery, al. The mountains of tennessee are so great. They seem to go on forever.

Good to see that the Girl Scout in you still exists - nice innovation in the spoon! Where's that roadkill count? And what's with you not liking my eyeballs? It had been a long day!!
